Unhappy Maintenance Required

I just noticed this afternoon that the Maintenance Required indicator has gone from green to yellow. I'm pretty sure that it's been in this state for less than 48 hours.

The last servicing was ~2000 miles ago.
There are no other warning lights indicating a problem.
There is no knocking from the engine, and no loss of power.
There are no unusual smells in the passenger compartment.
Exhaust is nominal.

Anyone experience something like this?

Re: Maintenance Required

There is a slot in your gauge cluster, insert your ing. key and that maint. req indicator should go off.

Re: Maintenance Required

The maintenance required indicator is just based on the odometer. Every 3500 miles it will go from green to yellow to red. After you've done the maintenance, you insert your key to reset it to green. It is not an indication that there's something wrong with your car.

Re: Maintenance Required

The maintenance light is for oil changes. It goes from green to yellow/orange at 7000mi. then to red at 10000. To reset it insert your ignition key into the slot below the speedometer.
